And that's exactly how I feel today,
I'm all bubbly and I'm so ecstatic inside,
because I know I couldn't have picked a finer husband,
I think of you and my chest swells and fills with pride.
From the day I met you, I knew,
I knew here was happiness for the rest of my life,
I knew that I'd love you forever and ever,
I knew that one day, today, I'd be your wife.
You're such a loving, strong and caring person,
I love you today and I know that I always will,
and I just wanted to thank you for being you,
I wanted to thank you for looking after me when I'm ill.
She had a few falls but that didn't slow her down,
and today, she's put many a reason in our rhymes,
she raised two daughters whilst having a career,
and that was very inspirational for those times.

And what is unfolding before us today,
really should come as no surprise,
because all this was planned so long ago,
sadly, today's telescopes also have blind eyes.
Today, I felt my father's spirit,
I could feel him proudly looking on,
I could feel his love for us all,
I could feel where his love brightly shone.
Hello, my wonderful father,
my heart is full and I have a lot to say,
and I don?t think I?ll get a better opportunity,
after all, today, well, it is Father's Day.
So I think we'll finish by saying Happy 60th Birthday,
I guess that's really what these words are for,
here's to you, Dad, you're truly wonderful,
and here's to staying a big kid, for evermore.
Our love just grows and grows with every day that passes,
so tomorrow, I know that I'll love you even more than today,
my heart and soul belong to you until the day I die,
but I know in the hereafter, I will also find a way.
However, it wasn't shining so brightly on your birthday,
if I recall (you won't remember), you were twenty one,
so wasted, you had to be carried up the stairs by a friend,
that night, certainly, your drinking days were done.
And (NAME) and (NAME) are here with us today,
because their spirit lives on, inside of us all,
and I know you wish I could have met (NAME),
but it's OK, she had to answer God's call.
So Happy 75th Birthday,
That's really what these words are for,
here's to you, (NAME), you're truly wonderful,
and here's to our love, for evermore.
So I just wanted to say thank you,
that's what these words are for,
just know that I love you today,
and that I'll love you for evermore.
Because (NAME), I think you were wrong,
I see your Dad in your every movement, your every smile,
and I know he?ll be there with you today,
I can see his proud look, watching from the aisle.
I know that we've both owned our fair share of tragedy,
and I also know it's never easy the second time around,
but today I am still amazed at the timing and the fate,
and I can't believe the pure and true happiness that we've found.
I'd also like to say Happy 75th Birthday,
I guess that's really what these words are for,
here's to you, <NAME>, you're truly wonderful,
and here's to our everlasting love, for evermore.
And I also wanted to Happy 80th Birthday,
I guess that's really what these words are for,
here's to you, (NAME), grandmother, you're truly wonderful,
and here's to at least another eighty more!
And I know we complained a bit at the time,
but working in the school holidays made us realize,
and those days have formed the basis of my work ethic today,
although I guess by now, this comes as no surprise.
I also wanted to say "Happy Birthday",
but there's a few other words that need to be said,
because I know I'm a hot tempered guy,
and some times my tongue gets easily led.
And on a much sadder and solemner note,
those here today are not the only ones to have soared,
because (NAME NAME NAME) is alive in us all,
and we know he's safe in the house of The Lord.
15th birthday today
